In XIV century in the inscription over the gates of hell was
introduced to the cultural memory of mankind, invoking to give up
hope before entering into any disastrous experience. But there is
something more profound for the modern man than a tragic abyss, one
of the symbols of which will always remain Chornobyl. That is why
final words of Dante's "Inferno" today are no less important – pass
through the Catastrophe :… to rebehold the stars", and to
understand – "trouble" can never be the last word about the
man.
